[ACCEPTED]-Unescaping escaped characters in a string using Python 3.2-python-3.x
Accepted answer
To prevent special treatment of \ in a literal 4 string you could use r prefix:
s = r'\n'
print(s)
# -> \n
If you have 3 a string that contains a newline symbol 2 (ord(s) == 10) and you would like to convert it to a 1 form suitable as a Python literal:
s = '\n'
s = s.encode('unicode-escape').decode()
print(s)
# -> \n
Edit: Based on your last remark, you likely 4 want to get from Unicode to some encoded 3 representation. This is one way:
>>> s = '\n\t'
>>> s.encode('unicode-escape')
b'\\n\\t'
If you don't 2 need them to be escaped then use your system 1 encoding, e.g.:
>>> s.encode('utf8')
b'\n\t'
You could use that in a subprocess:
import subprocess
proc = subprocess.Popen([ 'myutility', '-i', s.encode('utf8') ],
stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stdin=subprocess.PIPE,
stderr=subprocess.STDOUT)
stdout,stderr = proc.communicate()
